Alex Gordon quietly did something cool for a kid in Wednesday’s game
It’s been a terrible start to the season for the Royals, but a two-game stretch like this in, say, June is merely a blip in the season.
But it’s magnified because it’s the start of the season. So if you are feeling bummed about how things have gone, here’s a silver lining: Royals left fielder Alex Gordon did something cool during Wednesday’s game against the Twins.
Check out this clip on a foul ball:

@ParkerHageman Thankfully Alex Gordon just gave those same kids a ball from Castro's AB

What a terrible thing to do, right? Well, the guy who grabbed the ball ended up not being a complete punk. He gave the ball to another kid:
"You go and do something like this ...

But what about the kid with the red hat who seemed ready to snag the ball himself? He had a glove and was ready to make a memory.
Shoulda given it to one of the kids who almost caught it, tho. https://t.co/S9tPdp4VcP

Here’s where Gordon came up big. A few people at the game took note that Gordon went over the kid with the red hat and made his day.
@TwinkieTown Now the kid got one anyway. And personally from Alex Gordon. Even better

The kid who got robbed of the foul ball here just totally got a ball from Alex Gordon. I think everyone leaves happy. https://t.co/Wym8bodYEk

@ParkerHageman Alex Gordon just gave a foul ball to the kid with the glove right next to him this inning, too.
